Imtech provides its services to the construction, industry and tertiary sectors, and public authorities.
Imtech is established in the United Kingdom. Its subsidiary, Suir Engineering, is established in the Scandinavian countries and Ireland. Its subsidiary, Breathe, is a specialist in energy performance in the UK.
Based in Massachusetts, Dalkia Energy Solutions provides companies and industrial customers with a comprehensive approach to consultancy, project management and the performance of energy efficiency work, with nationwide coverage in the United States.
Aegis Energy Services LLC, which is based in Massachusetts, specialises in small gas cogeneration plants and facilities, which it designs, builds, commissions and maintains.
Dalkia Middle East Energy Company Limited was incorporated in 2021 and is active in the field of power plants and cooling networks, energy performance contracts and multi-technical maintenance.
The EDF group has initiated a process for the geographical and operational reorganisation of the activities of Citelum, a subsidiary dedicated to public lighting and associated services, as part of the growth of its energy services business, in particular in the field of electrical engineering.
This reorganisation is designed to meet a twofold objective of improving the quality of services provided to its public- and private-sector customers, and of developing synergies between the energy services managed by the main service subsidiaries of the Group, in particular by means of improved integration of the business activities conducted in the field of public lighting by Citelum.
Accordingly, Citelum’s business activities in France and Belgium have already been transferred respectively to Dalkia Electrotechnics, Dalkia’s new specialised subsidiary (1), and to Luminus. The Mexican business activities, on the other hand, have been sold to an investment fund.
Citelum moreover continues to enjoy significant commercial momentum. Thus, for example, Citelum, in a consortium with Eiffage, was awarded a contract by the City of Paris for public lighting and traffic light systems, as well as festive and architectural lighting. To date, this is the largest contract to date awarded in France in the area of public lighting and traffic light systems.
2022 will be an opportunity to finalise this project to consolidate electrical engineering activities within EDF group.
In 2021, EDF created a new Innovation Division called DIPP ("Direction de l’Innovation et des Programmes Pulse") that is structured around five core functions:
The DIPP includes the former EDF Pulse Croissance entity, whose stakes in start-ups and investment funds are now managed by EDF Pulse Holding. The development of the EDF Pulse Holding portfolio is directly linked to the activities of the EDF Pulse Incubation and EDF Pulse Ventures programmes, which are detailed below.
The EDF Pulse Incubation programme draws on the ideas and know-how of the Group’s employees to design and develop new business and services. The incubator programme offers bespoke support for employees and enlists in-house and third-party experts to test, create, and develop business models, as well as foster the professional development of intrapreneur employees.
This support helps intrapreneur employees, as well as EDF group as a whole, since it contributes to the Group’s evolution and the upskilling of its employees. Due to the close proximity of EDF Pulse Incubation’s teams to those of EDF Pulse Ventures, incubated projects benefit from an “investment-driven” vision, while continually monitoring market trends and needs.
Intrapreneurial projects may lead to the incorporation of a new EDF group subsidiary. This was the case, for example, of:
